2 Corinthians 12:14-18
Legacy Standard Bible
14 Here (A)for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I (B)will not be a burden to you; for I (C)do not seek what is yours, but (D)you. For (E)children ought not to save up for their parents, but (F)parents for their children. 15 So I will (G)most gladly spend and be fully spent for your souls. If (H)I love you more, am I to be loved less? 16 But be that as it may, I (I)did not burden you myself. Nevertheless, crafty fellow that I am, I (J)took you in by deceit. 17 (K)Have I taken advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you? 18 I (L)encouraged (M)Titus to go, and I sent (N)the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Did we not walk [a]in the same (O)spirit—(P)in the very same steps?

2 Corinthians 12:14-18
New King James Version
Love for the Church
14 (A)Now for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be burdensome to you; for (B)I do not seek yours, but you. (C)For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. 15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent (D)for your souls; though (E)the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.
16 But be that as it may, (F)I did not burden you. Nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you by cunning! 17 Did I take advantage of you by any of those whom I sent to you? 18 I urged Titus, and sent our (G)brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps?
